Tell me lies,

tell me sweet little lies.

One day, I will marry a man who adores books as much as I do, and we'll dedicate a room in our

double storey weather board house to our collection of books, and call it our library. Then when we're eighty-something years

old, with absolutely nothing to do with our lives anymore, we'll sit together by the fire place at our nursing home,

and read our books until we die.

The only time you should look down on someone, is when you are helping them up.

Bloggers, Watch This Space.

I say watch this space, but what I really mean is check back every few months. It may take me a while to get around to it, but I've decided to post the first chapter of my novel up on my blog once I've written it.

If I hadn't said anything before, well yes, I do have plans for a novel. I wont tell you how it goes and it doesn't even have a name yet, but I have the entire thing planned out from start to finish. I want to post it up so that I can get suggestions and opinions, and find out what people think of it so far. And whether they'd read the rest of it, after reading the first chapter.

It's a little bit of tragedy and a little bit of romance. It has twists and surprises and unlikely relationships. It has humour and raw, realistic emotion. It jumps from country to country, and has an ending so different from the beginning, that you'd think it was an entirely different book.

Regardless of all that, I do hope you like it. If you read my blog, but don't follow, post me a comment on my Facebook link. If you do follow, then post a comment here.

I have an inexplicable love for geography/maps.

Yay, August!

Happy August everybody!

Almost seven days in, and I'm loving it already. The weather has been so lovely, and everything seems just right.

I made a silent pledge to myself last month, that I would cut out junk food and only eat healthy food for the entire month of August, and see if I could continue it for the next few months. Seven days in, and I'm sticking to my pledge. I've also been having a bottle of water a day, which is making me pee like Seabiscuit, but I feel good at least.

I finally did some shopping today, buying myself some cute little retro headphones and a new purse, like I'd been wanting for months now.

I also spent some of my birthday giftcards, buying myself a book called The Power of One, which I've been told is a very good book, and the prettiest set of white paper lanterns with fairy lights.

They're so beautiful. I love them. And so far, I love August. And since I'm so happy and full of love, here's a bunch of other things I love.

• My new paper lanterns
• The smell of books
• Fuzzy cardigans
• Scented body butter
• Red lip-stick
• Cupcakes
• Tea
• Pandas
• Maps
• People who give good hugs
• Peonies
• The colour orange
• Being kissed on the forehead
• Zebras
• My best friend
• Shakespeare
• Ridiculously high-heeled shoes
• The Police & Fleetwood Mac

Share it 'round, and enjoy your August <3
